You probably don't need the two events as you can detect when the apps 
free up these resources anyway.   So your proposal boils down to:  post 
the DEVICE_REMOVAL/ DEVICE_FATAL events, and wait some amount of time.  
After said timeout, you fire a SIGBUS at each process still owning 
resources for the device in question.

Roland, is that terrible in your opinion?
